If you are using your CRB for dry soil removal

[Mikey P]

Are you aware that this 1.5 port is available to hook up to your truckmounts and back pack vacuums?

@regarossa how much and are these available for all 4 sizes?

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Cool, would love to hook up my 20" to a back pack vac. Got a link for purchase?

Or just get your sheet cutter and cut a 2" hole to install your own hose barb. (threaded plastic will be held in place from the back, cheap mod.... from Home Depot type places) cap it when not in use.

Sorry...is this ok to say, or is it hurting business?

You certainly could, however the difficulty lies in cutting through stainless on a profile. (the older catch trays have a curved roof rather than flat like the new ones)
It's not easy. But if you have the skill, by all means rock n roll that.

We have two versions at the moment. PRO 35 and PRO 45 (or brush pro 17 and 20).

I'll list tomorrow how to buy and pricing.

Reg will using the port with a back pack make it more or less effective then a Certified Pile Lifter?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I would tend to think more. Simply on the fact that "if" you are using a HEPA backpack you are capturing the small particles that the bag on the old skool pile lifter is just allowing to pass through.

A dust redistribution machine if you will.

 

[Mikey P]

and hooked to an Aerotech?

 

[Desk Jockey]

It will turn a Berber into a Frieze.

Awaiting reports on how well it works.
Will it be for the back side only or both front and back?

I for one would be a little concerned running that on my backside.

Front? Hey a little attention never hurt...or does it?

 

[ruff]

Thank you Mighty.
nfo (Now f... off).
Please.

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

I don't see why you couldn't have both sides and "T or Y" them together.........Unless of course the cost is redonkulous.....

 

[Rick J]

and , after running on the dry soil, pre-spray and use it to extract!!

 

[Mikey P]

A 1.5 Y to front and back would be awesome.

 

[J Scott W]

We stocked these at one time, but was not enough interest to keep them in the warehouse. I am sure we can get them again for those that want. We may even have one or two untis still around.

 

[J Scott W]

I think you will like it better when attached to the back pack vacuum rather than a truck mount. The additional vacuum hose to move around can get in the way.

 

[Mikey P]

Stay tuned, we are going to raffle off one of these vacuum trays soon

Well, I have never been super impressed with the certified especially after comparing what a CRB will do for dry soil removal/pile lifting when only the catch trays are used. Two brushes are always better than one....and as Desk Jockey mentioned, that bag leaks like crazy.

With a hepa filtered vac it performs great. We have tested with front and back (connected with a t splitter) as well as rear alone and prefer the rear only attached. It is simply is too inconvenient running front and back with no significant gain.

I have never tried with a truck mount but I'm sure it would be fantastic. However as Scott mentioned, slightly cumbersome dealing with the hose and you would also need to deal with the wet down aspect before hitting the blower. Not sure if all that is worth the gain...maybe it is?

If you get one, when starting both vac and crb up, make sure you start the crb and then the vac. Also only use a 50' 12 gauge power cord (or 10 if you have to go longer) the healthier the power the more likely you wont be tripping breakers.

You can use lmx von schrader with brush and vacuum on

It would be hander than using backpacker with CRB.

The LMX can be purchased used way below the price of CRB.
LMX is built in USA and is very durable

You can run LMX without foam and prespray ahead and scub it in with powerful
Brush and vacuum at same time

It is also lite and easy to move unlike a CRB

Thinking outside of box

Thanks have a great day
